As the whole country must know by now, San Diego County has massive fires sweeping across it. My neighborhood had a mandatory evacuation yesterday morning. There's a great map here, updated by the good folks at KPBS, who recently lost their radio broadcast tower to the fires. My family and I evacuated the Rancho Penasquitos area (west of the 15, North of the 56) yesterday morning to my work at Sony Online just off Miramar road. A few hours later we moved to a hotel downtown San Diego, which thankfully has Wifi and cable TV. We have another room for tonight and tomorrow night if needed. My son is 5 and half, but taking the evacuation quite well.
The news sources I've been tracking:
